Online game show pilot

Tom, one of the UKGameshows team, is setting up a web-based quiz show, and is looking for some contestants to do a pilot run-through. "No major prizes except for a small Amazon voucher for the winner," he says, "I'm just trying to test the format and make sure all the technology works. If it does go ahead, though, you'll be pretty much guaranteed a go on the real thing!"

You need a broadband connection, a webcam, and a free copy of Skype. If you've got those, send an email to thomas@thomasscott.net with your Skype username. Good luck!
